hurricane relief

Storm recovery help

Hurricane relief is aid provided to communities affected by hurricanes—emergency supplies, financial assistance, rebuilding efforts, and volunteer labor.

The term covers both immediate disaster response and long-term recovery: They donated to hurricane relief after the storm devastated the coast.

Relief organizations coordinate food, shelter, and medical care for displaced residents.
